a Good Word for Kissane

New ORLEANS, April 5.-Judge Al
exandcr Walker, in letter to the
Evening Chronicle, after recounting
the recent discovered facts concerning
Col. w. X. Rogers, says; "Two OF
our most respected citizens, gentle
men of the highest honor and OF
records for chevalric bearing and OF
valorous conduct in the most trying
emergencies OF MILITARY service, were
brought into cose relations with Col
Rogers during his service with General
Walker. They bear testimony to bis
good conduct IN that service, his ellie
ienGy, promptitude and fidelity to
duty and his chevalaric and honora-
BILE bearing on all occasions. He was
one of the group OF chief officer OF
General Walker who came to this
city after the surrender OF walkers
command. Whilst here nc bore him
self with manly dignity and propriety.
The only departure from this course OF
conduct was his acceptance of chal-
lenge and hostile meeting on the field
of honor forced upon him BY Col.
Henry, who he wounded in u fair and
honorable duel at Bay st. Louis. In
the affair u gentleman now residing In
this city acted as second and will bear
testimony to the honorable bearing OF
Rogers. General Walker who was the
soul of honor in the history of his ex-
pcdition, refers in highly compli-
mentary terms to Rogers official ser.
vice. whilst with him in Central
America" After referring to the en-
hibition of high traits OF honorable
and manly character which have been
conspicuous in Rogers career, after
his removal to the Pacific slope, 1t IS
stated that other evidence is furnished
of good conduct and manly qualities
of Rogers, which may plead at least in
mitigation ii not in full condemnation OF
the alleged misdeeds of his youthful
days,

worst cause passengers some incon-
venience for couple of days, but by
the end OF that time the western line
would be able To- perfect arrangements
by which any inconvenience caused by
the refusal OF eastern lines to book

sioner, in speaking Of the matter, said
this evening:
"It is not boycott. We are sim

have not agreed to the compact are
those in the Amalgamated Western
Association, and they will doubtless

CHICAGO, April G-Commenting on
the result of yesterdays election. The
Times, Independent Democrat, says :.
"The people Of Chicago have given
their answer in no uncertain tones to
the brazen command of the Hay
market banditti for surrender OF the
municipal government into their
blood-stained hands. The candidate
of the red flag barbarians tor the ma
yoralty, has been defeated by major
ity approximating $4,000 and hIs asso-
ciates on the city and town tickets
have suffered II like righteous fate.
The result is magnificent triumph
for the intelligence and conscience of
Chicago. 1t is IL splendid indication
OF the patriotism, the common sense
and the sturdy manhood of the graat
masses of her people. II is acrushing
rebuke to the damagogues and trick
sters of the Carter Harrison type, who
to promote their unhallowed ambition
| and lust OF power have been dallying
with lawlessness and wantonly trifling
with the safety, the prosperity and the
good name OF this community. 1t is
II notice to the world that the tide ot
barbarIsm which erstwhile threatened
to sweep away the safe guards of pro
perty and personal rights in this greut
city that eliminated in the bloody
massacre of the Haymarket and tha
with the collapse of the rotten dynasty
where criminal folly and recklessness
| first opened II channel for its fou
waters. Chicago is once more on higl
and solid ground, secure against The
threatened inundation.

miliar faces Of the dead are seen

Though your path be away from the fountain of ligh
That pours from the wealth of the Masters Throne
Though, lost in conceit of your feeble might
Ye would brave the tempests of earth alone
There's hailing sign from the beauteous wave
On the shining face of the crystal sea.
Where glad in his penteous power to save,
The Master is earnestly calling for thee.
Though, tossed by the bilows, the heart may fail,
Or the waves of sorrow tempestuous roll,
An Infinite Pilot is guiding sail
On mission of help to the sinking soul;
Not the tiniest atom of earth, in vain
Is cast on life's ocean, broad and free,
There's a seaman, all-powerful, watching the main,
And the Master is earnestly calling for thee.
Though sin, like dark and dangerous reef,
Looms sullenly up in your vessels trsck,
And the chilling echo of mortal grief
To your startled hailing is answered back
peerless vessel is casting a line
As 1t proudly rocks on the rolling sea,
From its deck is shouting a voice divine,
And the Master is earnestly calling for thee.
Then turn, oh, luckless Mariner turn
Where the wild waves chase in their wanton play
Where tina fires of Heavenly beauty burn,
And the faultless compass is marking the way
Where the rays of hope, with a generous CLEAN,
Tell the soul of voyages yet to be
Though rudely 1t breaks on your varying dream,
The voice of the Master is calling for thee.
That beacon is steadily shining afar,
lis bright rays piercing the waves of sin
And the ship which sails by that fadeless star
To the harbor of safety is guided in;
For tireess watcher is standing by
Who rules the wrath of the roaring sea,
And down from the harbor beyond the sky
The voice of the Master is calling for thee

Our good friend John Wood, of Spring
er, hands US the following: For two
weeks past revival has been in progress,
of wonderful power, at the Pleasant Val
ley Baptist Church, near Springer's p. o.,
conducted by Rev. S. D. Specs, the powers
of the man, as all express. seem to be
wonderful. Better order and attention
never could be observed. If he could
only have remained another week the
entire community would have been
brought to Christ, but other engagements
compelled him to close the meeting last
evening. The meetings were largely at
tended. So much so that the house was
far too small to accommodate the anxious
throng. The meeting was power in the
community not soon to be forgotten
Last Sabbath sixteen promising young
men and ladies obeyed the Savior in bap-
tism. The service was grand and no
doubt cannot be exceiled. Three await
baptism. In all twenty-five were added
to the Church."

The Cinnamon who were here last
week sold articles made from rice paper.
The manufacture of articles from rice,
however, will not seem so much of a
novelty to the men who went with Sh er
man to Atlanta. We recollect at one
place a mill was kept running for several
days, possibly weeks, grinding rice into
-four, which was used by the bakers in
making bread for the army. Rice flour
would not perhaps be popular among the
ladies for fancy baking, but was very
acceptable Just at that time.

There is one man in Jail who goes by
the name of Mutton Chop" He is tall,
lank specimen, as odd in appearance as
he is accused of being in practice. One
of his alleged peculiarities is the dining
on variety of meats. So strange has
this habit become that the law has taken
cognizance of it. and once before had him
arrested for eating veal, and now have
pulled him for eating mutton. He halls
from Jackson Township. They accuse
him of stealing the calves and the sheep

Rev. Rudisill, in his sermon on Sunday
night, made the assertion that on that
day Sunday he had seen a business
house in full blast in Jackson. He might
have gone further, and said half dozen
without missing it very far. Some of
the places about town do not think of
closing on Sunday. Possibly the blinds
may be lowered, but the house is kept
open and sales made right along. This is
not a pleasant picture for town con-
tanning as many good people as Jackson.
We should think men might transact
business enough through the week, with
out showing ontempt for the Lords
Day. The plea that it is necessary to
run stores on Sunday is nonsense.
